A Native Hawaiian Place of Learning

At the William S. Richardson School of Law, being a Native Hawaiian place of learning signifies a deep-rooted commitment to honoring Hawaiian cultural values and perspectives in legal education. This unique identity reflects a dedication to the principles of ‘āina (land) and ‘ohana (family), ensuring that the legal education provided is not only rigorous but also culturally inclusive and reflective of Hawaiʻi’s rich heritage.

Aʻo (to learn, teach, or counsel)
ʻAuamo (to collectively engage)
Alu (to cooperate or work together)
‘Āina (land)
‘Ohana (family)
Kuleana (responsibility)
Aloha (love, respect, or greeting)
Mahalo (thank you)
Pono (righteousness, balance)
Malama (to care for or protect)
Ho’omaikaʻi (congratulations)

The Hawaiian language, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, is the indigenous language of Hawaiʻi and official language of the state of Hawaiʻi along with English. The use of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi in our communication highlights the importance of embracing and celebrating the local culture, promoting a sense of belonging, and respect for the backgrounds in our community.

A'o Learning from One Another ALU Connecting with Each Other ʻAuamo Working Together

As a graduate of Richardson, I am proud and honored to forward the responsibility of ensuring that our graduates become competent and ethical lawyers, and, more importantly, leaders that serve and uplift the community.

Troy Andrade, class of ʼ11, Distinguished Professor at Richardson and Associate Director of Academic Affairs.
